The sleuths of the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh Police claimed to have arrested an agent of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence who was leaking confidential and sensitive information and documents related to the Indian Navy to his Pakistani counterparts.

According to an official communiqué, the UP ATS was receiving intelligence that under a conspiracy, agents of Pakistani intelligence agency ISI were obtaining confidential and sensitive information and documents related to the Indian Navy by luring Indian Navy employees and private persons working in shipyards under pseudo names. The ISI agents were luring them with money and sending money through various means.

When this intelligence was developed by the ATS, it came to light that Ram Singh, son of late Jai Singh and resident of village Ramvapur under Pipraich police station of Gorakhpur, was in contact with a Pakistani woman spy.

The Pakistani agents were continuously depositing money in Ram Singh’s bank account and Ram Singh had provided money to the associates of Pakistani agents who were giving confidential information about the Indian Navy and Army to Pakistani agents. Ram Singh was arrested after interrogation on Sunday.

During interrogation, Ram Singh disclosed that for almost three years he was in touch with the so-called Pakistani female spy, Kirti Kumari (pseudonym), through Facebook and WhatsApp. Ram Singh, as a part time worker at Goa Shipyard Naval base, used to work on applying insulation to Indian Navy’s warships. Many Navy warships like INS Vikramaditya, INS Vikrant and others used to come to the shipyard. Ram Singh sent the photographs of Indian Navy’s warships to the Pakistani agent.

Kirti Kumari deposited a huge amount of money in Ram Singh’s bank account and he transferred the deposited money to the bank accounts of agents working for ISI on the instructions of the Pakistani agent.

In connection with the above mentioned crime committed by Ram Singh, a case has been registered at ATS police station in Lucknow (FIR No. 05/2024) under Section 121A of the Indian Penal Code. Ram Singh has been arrested and further legal action is being taken against him.
